Trading Enterprises launches adventurous new Jeep Cherokee Renegade in Dubai

"Renegade builds on the Jeep Cherokee's expressive appearance and adds rugged design cues taken from the exciting Dakar conceptvehicle which inspired Cherokee's original design," said Craig Hardie, Sales and Marketing Manager, Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge, Trading Enterprises, a member of the Al Futtaim group of companies.

First used in 1964 on the inside door opening of the Jeep Wagoneer, the Renegade name has always represented the rebellious heart and soul of the Jeep brand, desired by so many Jeep loyalists.

Living up to the proud heritage of the Renegade badge, Jeep Cherokee Renegade combines an integrated light bar, rooftop cargo basket, 'bolted-on' wheel flares, removable side steps, unique wheels and a two-tone front fascia for the ultimate adventure package.

The custom activity light bar houses two halogen lamps so that the off-roading can continue even after the sun goes down. With 75,000 candlepower these lamps light the path, whether it is along an off-road trail or for an evening game of beach volleyball.

"Jeep Cherokee Renegade is for the person that wants to have fun 24-hours a day," said Hardie.

Available in Cactus Green, Light Khaki, Bright Silver and Black, Jeep Cherokee Renegade features body colour grille and cladding, with a two-tone front bumper. Unique Renegade wheel flares appear wider than the standard flares with machined stainless steel bolt heads reinforcing the capability of Cherokee.

Trapezoidal wheel openings frame all-terrain tyres mounted on 16-inch six-spoke aluminium wheels. The cast aluminium wheels have graphite painted accents and are standard to all exterior colours. Protective silver tubular side steps with black step pads bolt to Cherokee Renegade's uniframe rails for easy ingress and egress. Side steps are easily removable for extreme off-road driving.

The interior of the Jeep Cherokee Renegade features well-tailored, supportive front seats with a unique combination of flat woven cloth and leather.

Jeep Cherokee Renegade comes with a 3.7 PowerTech™ V-6 petrol engine with four-speed automatic transmission that provides the most power in its class, with 208 bhp at 5,200 rpm and 230 lb ft of torque at 3,800 rpm.

A Jeep-engineered, coil spring independent front suspension combines with a link-coil rear suspension to provide exceptional on-road refinement and legendary off-road capability and durability.

The braking system now includes rear discs, as with all 2003 Jeep Cherokee models, to improve stopping power.

"Jeep vehicles are designed to be as enjoyable on-road as they are off," added Hardie. "For someone who wants a Jeep that backs up those off road credentials with even more authentic and rugged good looks, the new Jeep Cherokee Renegade is the perfect solution."
